I'm using a hot roll on wax. I don't know how much I'm going to do...I guess we'll see how brave I get. I've never waxed down there before. Any advice before I go into battle? ;)

I have some advice: DON'T DO IT!!! Even the professionals that do mine don't do their own! The difference between doing your bikini and your legs is that with your bikini area you have to pull the skin very taught before you apply the wax and keep it pulled very taught while you rip the gauze off. Otherwise it will hurt so much you will probably pass out and your skin could also bleed. You won't get a good result either (like you could even stand the pain enough to finish the job!).
The obvious problem with waxing your own bikini is you only have one pair of hands! It takes two hands to hold the skin taught and at least one hand to apply the wax and gauze, and rip it off. When I go to the salon I have to hold my skin taught while the professional does the rest.
If you do decide to go ahead trim the hair really short with scissors to minimise the pain and take some painkillers beforehand! In fact, do this even if you go to a salon. Good luck hon.
PS You will not be able to wash the area for 24-48 hours after waxing as you will get a rash from warm water and soap, so wash beforehand and dry thoroughly.

A bikini wax only covers the seen section exterior of the truthfully bikini bottoms, so no you wont might desire to eliminate all clothing. A brazilian is while all your hair is waxed off, so which you will might desire to eliminate clothing yet be warned this decision takes longer and is extra painful! you sometimes lie down on a table, and that's maximum possibly that it will purely be you and the beautician so do not concern approximately that :) From my adventure the prompt effects after waxing are purple and actually warm epidermis, which may well be slightly sore for some hours yet you are able to calm this reaction with an ice cube or you purely enable it pass down by using itself. rejoice with your trip!! x

If I was you, I would use a razor. Waxing is VERY painful. The two common mistakes people make when shaving is not using a new razor and moisturizing afterward. Use a brand new razor every time you do your bikini area and put moisturizer on immediate after and then again later. Write a note to remind yourself if you have to. Using a new sharp razor is quicker and the results are better. Just remember to moisturize!

Make sure you get a numbing spray you can buy it at Sally's Beauty Supply and it is made by GIGI. Also take some Ibuprofen about 30 min before you start it really does help with the pain of it. After wards make sure to use a post-epilation cream to cleanse the site. Hope this helps

Soak in hot water before you do, because it will enlarge the pores and make hair removal less painful. It pretty much hurts though :)
